Everybody knows the saying ‘don’t sleep on this dude right here.’ And sadly enough we’ve been sleeping. Luckily, this artists management got in touch with us to spread the word late last night, and earlier this morning I was inclined to check out this cats tape. His name – Dave Raps.
Fresh outta the Florida panhandle, this 20-year-old is always grinding and the proof is in the pudding. His latest mixtape “Too Unknown” is out right now and it’s his third project of the year. The tape is hosted by the one and only Ashley Outrageous.
Currently in the studio working on his debut EP to be released sometime in 2011, Dave Raps’ style touches down on many levels and he displays this dynamic ability to lace beats with lyricism and wordplay regardless of the message he’s trying to convey. Adding his own special touch to tracks such as Miguel’s club banger “All I Want is U,” Kanye’s “Monster” and Drakes “Fireworks” – along with a few other familiar beats as well as some original instrumentals – Dave Raps proves not once but again and again that he is bound to become a powerful influence in the game for years to come.
